Nuclear war could have broken if…, Donald Trump makes Big claim, once again takes credit for stopping the India-Pakistan war, India says…
New Delhi: Despite India’s denial, US President Donald Trump has once again taken credit for preventing a potential war between India and Pakistan. Talking to the media, President Trump stated that he eased tensions by leveraging trade negotiations as a means of pressure. He also claimed he helped settle the long-running conflict between Rwanda and Congo.
Trump Repeats Claim of Preventing India-Pakistan War
Speaking about the India-Pakistan situation, Donald Trump said, “We’ve been very successful in settling wars. You have India and Pakistan. You have Rwanda and the Congo, that was going on for 30 years. India, by the way, Pakistan would have been a nuclear war within another week, the way that was going. That was going very badly, and we did that through trade. I said, ‘we’re not going to talk to you about trade unless you get this thing settled,’ and they did, and they were both great, great leaders, and they were great.”
It is important to note that Trump has made this claim several times in the past. However, the peace move actually began when Pakistan’s DGMO contacted his Indian counterpart and requested a halt to all military actions — on land, in the air, and at sea.
Operation Sindoor:
India launched a fierce attack against Pakistan on May 7 under Operation Sindoor, targeting and destroying nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation for the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Following this, Pakistan attempted to attack India, prompting a retaliatory strike by India, in which 11 Pakistani airbases were destroyed using BrahMos missiles.
As a strong warning, the Indian Air Force later struck 11 Pakistani airbases, including key ones like Nur Khan and Rahim Yar Khan.
